They are made for armless futon and click-clack sofa beds, but no cover suits every frame. Measure the width of your sofa bed and compare it with the size options.

A sofa bed leads a double life: a seat on weekdays and a bed when guests stay. Our sofa bed covers are stretch covers that shield a futon or click-clack sofa bed from spills, pet hair and daily wear, and they give a tired frame a fresh look in minutes. Choose a jacquard, classic stretch or printed sofa bed cover in the size that matches yours, with a non-slip stretch binding that keeps it from creeping. The result keeps a guest bed looking ready for visitors. It is also a simple way to look after the frame you already own without paying to replace it.
Choosing a Cover for Your Sofa Bed
Because a sofa bed is used for sitting and for sleeping, its fabric wears from both. A sofa bed couch cover takes that wear, and it costs far less than replacing the frame or reupholstering it. The covers here suit what people call a sofabed, a bed settee or a futon, so check the type, size and fit below before ordering.
Measuring the Sofa Bed
- With the bed closed into its sofa position, run a flat tape across the back from one end to the other, and compare the width with the product page.
- Classic stretch and printed covers come in two sizes: S for 160 to 180 cm and L for 180 to 200 cm.
- Jacquard covers come in three: S for 47 to 61 in (119 to 155 cm), M for 61 to 75 in (155 to 191 cm) and L for 75 to 89 in (191 to 226 cm).
- If your sofa bed falls between two sizes, the larger fits more comfortably, because the stretch fabric will still sit smoothly.
Will It Fit Your Frame?
- A good match: armless sofa beds, including futon, click-clack and fold-down styles. An armless sofa bed cover like this goes over the back and seat in one piece.
- Not the right product: a sofa bed with arms. A cover designed to fit around arms is better, so look at Sofa Covers, or Corner Sofa Covers for an L-shaped sofa bed.
- Mattresses: we do not sell a cover for the mattress itself. These cover the back and seat in the sofa position.
Fabric Options
- Jacquard: a textured weave that gives under tension and helps conceal wear.
- Classic stretch: a smooth, soft micro-fabric in plain colours that washes and dries quickly.
- Printed: stretch covers with patterns for a more decorative look.
All three work as futon covers and click-clack covers, with an expandable fit and a non-slip stretch binding. A plain colour calms a living room, while a print makes a spare room feel designed.
Living With the Bed
- Pull the cover over the back, smooth it across the seat, and tuck the elastic binding underneath.
- The stretch fabric is designed to move with the frame. If it feels tight as the bed goes down, lift the cover off first and refit it afterwards.
- A spare cover makes hosting easier: swap in a clean one instead of waiting for the washing to dry.
Between Guests
Leave the cover on between visits to protect the sofa position, then wash and refit it before the next stay. If the bed folds out often, check that the binding lies flat beneath the seat so it does not catch on the mechanism.
Colour Ideas
- Beige, light grey and off-white melt into minimalist rooms, whereas navy, sage green or chocolate give the sofa bed a starring role.
- In a family room, darker shades hide marks better. A spare room used rarely can take lighter ones.
Setting Up the Guest Room
- Finish the room with Pillow Covers and a Sofa Throw from the same colour range.

Washing a Sofa Bed Cover
Choose a gentle cycle and leave out the bleach. Air drying or a low tumble protects the stretch, which high heat gradually wears away. Deal with spills promptly, and put the cover back only when it has dried fully.
FAQs
The stretch fabric is designed to move with the frame, so the bed can often be folded with the cover on. If it feels tight or snags on the mechanism, lift it off, fold the bed, and refit it.
Yes. Pull it over the back, smooth it down the seat and tuck the non-slip stretch binding beneath. Check the fit again after a few days and smooth any creases.
If the click-clack has no arms, yes. The covers are designed for armless sofa beds, and the stretch moves with the back and seat. Measure the width in the sofa position to choose a size.
Yes, on a gentle cycle without bleach, followed by a low tumble or air drying. Heat is what makes stretch fabric lose its recovery over time.
Our sofa bed covers are for armless frames. With arms, choose a regular sofa cover and measure the sofa in its sofa position, or a corner cover for an L-shaped sofa bed.
